Closing the project

The closing phase of the course development project overlaps with implementing the course. The figure at the top of this chapter illustrates the relationship of the two processes, identifies actions that are performed in each of the respective processes and the corresponding deliverables from those processes. The closing phase of the project is the most likely of the phases to be overlooked by the project manager and the project team. For all purposes, the project has completed! The course has been turned over to the owner and is being scheduled and delivered. However, there is still valuable work to be done.
